Pink Centres are ‘beyond toilet facilities’ offering women and children multi-utility spaces with a range of free services such as breast-feeding areas, sanitary pad vending machines, incinerators, changing rooms, resting spaces, reading corners, bathing facilities etc. These centres are not just used by women, children and the youth but are also easily accessible to elderly women, Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and trans-persons.
“Throughout the second wave of COVID-19, Pink Centres have remained fully functional on ground. As necessitated by the pandemic, MCD kept all the 20 Pink Centres open amid restrictions in Delhi to ensure that there is no impact on women’s mobility and access to safe sanitation spaces. It is heartening to note that our WASH Champs demonstrated their skills in maintaining these centres with highest standards of safety for the users, with all the COVID appropriate measures in place”, said Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, Joint Managing Director, PVR Limited.
